Funeral For a Hit and Run Auto Victim
Funeral services for Edward Toleson, 15, victim of a hit and run driver who left him to die along the side of a lonely country road, were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Myers funeral home. The service was conducted by Rev. A. R. Kuehn of the Evangelical church and interment was in Oak Hill cemetery.
Pallbearers were Hoyt Christensen, Russell Haverstick, Sr., Keith Harrison, Robert White, Leon Wilson and Dean Selleck. Mrs. Orin F. Schmidt furnished the music.
Public indignation is high over the cowardly manner in which the boy was left to his death and reports are still coming into the sheriff's office offering clues and aid in the apprehension of the drivers of the death car, Deputy Loyal Hudson said Wednesday.
Every possible lead is being traced and with public cooperation continuing as it has the persons responsible will be apprehended soon, is the belief of sheriff's officers.
The Toleson boy was struck about 9 0'clock Saturday evening as he was walking along the Long Lake road. An inquest jury decided that the boy did not die immediately. Deputy Ben Neve had found the boy covered with hat, which indicated a deliberate attempt to cover it, he said.
